About the Book
Ceph is at the heart of modern data centers and cloud infrastructures, powering petabytes of resilient and scalable storage.
Hands-On Ceph walks you through every layer of the system—from architecture to deployment and advanced administration. You’ll learn how to design your Ceph cluster, deploy it using Cephadm, manage pools, CRUSH maps, and OSDs, and optimize performance for real workloads.
The book also covers CephFS, RBD, and RADOS Gateway configuration, NVMe-over-Fabrics integration, monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, and best practices for troubleshooting and scaling.
Whether you’re a DevOps engineer, system administrator, or architect, this book gives you both the theory and the hands-on experience to become a Ceph expert.
